Quotes[]
“Over the past few months, one thing has become clear to me. No matter the challenge, the people of Hope Valley know how to come together. First, the coal mine was destroyed, then the oil wells dried up, and we lost the foundry, and with it the promise of new jobs. But in true Hope Valley fashion, Florence, Molly, and Minnie started a swap meet so nothing would go to waste. Rosemary insisted that Lee hire everyone he could from the oil company, and wouldn’t let anything stop her from lending a hand, even though she’s just a few weeks from giving birth. We’ve all rolled up our sleeves, relying on generosity and kindness, and neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone has dedicated themselves to doing their part and having fun while they do it. As for us, Lucas and I have started planning for a fall wedding and we’re getting a lot of opinions. But we can’t wait for the big day.”
-Elizabeth, writing in her journal
“Everyone, I’d like to say a few words of gratitude for a wonderful meal. For our wonderful friends and neighbors for making it possible. Now, we all know the last few months have not been easy. But if we put our hands and our hearts and our heads together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. Let us ask for humility. To accept a little help. Let us be thankful for community, for this is where we find safety. And let us always remember to do justly, to love mercy, and to always walk humbly before God. Let us give thanks.”
-Pastor Joseph, at the community dinner
”Carpe Diem and seize the day
So the ancient poets say
We have this moment so make it count
Never mind when troubles mount
We’ll help each other through thick and thin
Blessed to have the moment we’re in”
-Allie’s poem
